The outrage in the article that teaching-while-drunk is not illegal. šŸ˜‚ I’m pretty sure that’s going to be covered in the employment contract, not every stupid thing has to be a court case. Plus I’m surprised the elementary school kids didn’t eat her alive, coming to class without her senses.

Cardboard deconstructionism is the cutting edge of feline expression.

You know these are the types who, when asked, would assure you they’ve sacrificed so much for their kids. That’s just parenthood, you’d kill you your kids. Small pinch in the arm to respect your kid’s right to keep their kid safe? No.

I think Melania has disassociated right out from under those shoulder pads and is mentally on a tropical beach.

We need pretty maps and eel facts and dog pictures even more when everything else is too much. Please?

Generally breaking copyright law by publishing something you do not own the copyright to, especially when making money off it, is considered theft. Would be nice if there was language to differentiate stealing a car and stealing a symphony but there isn’t.

LLM AI does not deserve a unique exception to copyright law just because rich people don’t want to pay for the same things everyone else pays for.

Independent programmers aren’t working with LLM AI, the hardware and energy costs are too high. Normal people can’t afford a warehouse of servers and a power plant to run it. Academic programmers working with LLM AI already pay for or otherwise license their media.

Bluesky is set up more for the audience member than the speaker. If you came here to find interesting ideas, you can find them. Lists exist. If you came here to find an audience, there is no algorithm/Mommy to force interaction. You still get to play, you just don’t get to be quarterback.

Made the mistake of letting the foster kittens loose in the vet exam room, surely sealed against tiny holes for animals to disappear into. 2 inch gap in the baseboard under the sink. Thankfully they came out to investigate their siblings playing.

Forcing AI creators to have responsibility for the output of their AIs - whether that’s copyright violations or misleading medical information - also helps everyone.
comment in response to post
Additionally, I think AI will be improved by forcing AI training data to be curated and retained for legal purposes. The costs will drive out a lot of AI speculators, though I doubt it’s the death of LLM AI as predicted. That’s a cultural and environmental good.
comment in response to post
I’m not convinced that refusing to add an AI company loophole to copyright laws is the same thing as tightening them. Theft is still theft if you launder your spoils through a computer. Theft is not a business model.

Would have been nice to see her go through them one at a time and ask him.

If you took all the crazy out of that post, there would be no words left.

These days we celebrate even the accidental or unintentional improvements to the lot of the little guy, dumb luck may be the only force left on our side.

Disney already owns all the media it would use to train an AI so it’s reasonable for them to want to stop other parties from using their media for free. Since training data is essentially part of the AI code base, forcing companies to curate and pay for that data will improve AI performance, imo.

Yeah. Military is the only option for healthcare a lot of people have. So congrats you aren’t going to die of that tooth infection, now you are required to treat community members as enemy combatants.

I mean, is it that different from people in other countries saying the same thing? It’s still a human screaming at you.

If I were a Freudian type person, I might point out that fear of normal people that turn into monsters once a month possibly correlates with fear of the gender that experiences emotional disregulation due to hormones once a month. šŸ¤”
comment in response to post
That’s a good point. General loss of capacity even in ā€˜non-disabled’ people is really difficult to quantify but it’s important to note. I think we all need to watch for that in coworkers who might try to keep up with a now unsustainable workload - coping needs to be communal as well as personal.

It does seem like there isn’t much awareness of categories other than citizen and illegal.
comment in response to post
If it’s banned as a weapon of war we shouldn’t use it as a weapon against civilians either.
comment in response to post
I’m convinced a portion of the population believes that it’s ā€œland of the fearedā€ and behaves accordingly.

Good teacher! That is a great way to present history about civil rights - not to mention all the assorted protests and revolutions through history. Plus clearly useful information going forward.
comment in response to post
Once again I’m wishing people could be forced to take anatomy and physiology classes when the take bad medical claims. If we can force people into traffic school, rehab, and anger management why can we make them learn biology?

AIs are an excellent way to depersonalize a system so that the biases already there become obvious.

Gotta put less energy into floof production and more into potat mass. Good luck, Jimmie!

I’ve been battling this stupid disease my whole life, so I damn well better qualify. But I’d rather end up in Folkvangr, frankly. Open sunny field beats noisy mead-hall any day.

My family uses ā€œlinnerā€ (lunch/dinner) for the same meal.
comment in response to post
My husband uses ā€œschmoopyā€ as both a nickname and descriptor for one of our cats - including a wide range of nonstandard verbing and nouning. ā€œFull of Schmoopā€, ā€œrocking the schmoop grooveā€, ā€œSchmoopolotipusā€, etc.

Consequences of literally any kind need to come back, if public shaming is what we can do then start there.
comment in response to post
Can’t even call the faked charges ā€˜human smuggling’ because that might suggest that people other than citizens are human.
comment in response to post
And anyone who calls the cops to report someone else’s miscarriage is voted out of the family, friendship, acquaintance, and/or human race as appropriate. Snitches get stitches.
comment in response to post
Should hire the homeless folks to fly the drones over cops. Probably catch more crime that way anyway, and all that disappearing dash-cam and body-cam footage will have a backup.
comment in response to post
Plus any attempts to not be homeless - job interviews, talking to landlords, using shelters or medical services - are definitely hindered by having a noisy drone overhead.

Were the signs warnings for climbers or directives for the ghosts?
comment in response to post
ā€œWe may prosecute you if you miscarry and have inappropriate emotions about itā€ Same guy: ā€œMake sure you call law enforcement to alert them to a miscarriageā€ Women are supposed to volunteer medical information (no warrant) so that cops can decide if they miscarried legally?

Dorian Grey’s portrait might not have worked the first time either. Just have to keep trying.

The country that forces schoolchildren to recite the pledge of allegiance every day is worried that college students may not be able to question belief systems. The country that arrested college age protesters is worried about entrenched beliefs. The country blocking foreign students …
